If you are working with compound clips at all then “save as” might end up leading people to false security. The parent-child relationship means that a duplicated timeline (or a saved-as timeline) may “inherit” edits you’ve made in the original.

Anyway — that is my guess as to why apple is trying to avoid saving.

ok so the problem had something to do with just working off an external drive.

the xml file, media, and to-be-created aaf file were all on the external

i figured this out because i noticed that x2pro was calling it lacie2 and it should have just been lacie

so i moved the XML to my internal drive, and set the aaf to be exported on my internal, problem solved.

you mean go to the original clip in the event browser and open it in timeline right?

i tried this but it created a new compound clip when i put in the new audio, and didnt change the clip in the timeline.

is there a way to do this you think so that it changes timeline?

yeah the alexa only has a stereo track, where as i have 5 mono channels of HQ. so its def not in the alexa

ok what you’re saying makes sense will give it a try!]

basically use 7 to relink instead of X

do you have much experience with how good a job the X to 7 converter will do?

I’m not totally sure what you mean. It’s a feature film shot on the Alexa. I guess the clips are as long as the scenes are. So it varies. A lot of times a single clip is cut up and used in multiple chunks in the time line. So take one and take two might each be cut up 5 times and interleaved in a storyline.

Well some do. A lot don’t. But would this software be able to replace clips ALREADY in a timeline? Or is it more like plural eyes.

Basically I have a few things in my timeline:

1)Video with scratch audio from camera that is not time coded to audio
2)Video without scratch audio that is time coded
3)some multicam clips that are synched to audio already
4)some compound clips that are synched to audio

So what I need to do is create synched audio compound clips and replace clip types 1-3. Type 4 is obviously fine already.

I can have FCPX create the compound synched audio clips for me in the even browser.

BUT I am trying to find automated way to replace the unsyched clips in the Timeline…

Thanks!!!!!

Ok yeah I was afraid this was the only answer.

There is no batch process way to do this is there?

I have 2.5 TB across 5 events. Would love to be able leave running over night instead of sitting an watching/monitoring it for a day….

Thanks for the advice!
